Happy Thursday and welcome to the series If My Blog Was A Room… where I pose the challenge to think of your blog as an actual space. What would that space look like? I am excited to have Genevieve (love that name!) here, from her blog, The Passionate Peony. Genevieve is brand new to blogging and is off to a great start. She blogs about art, design and fashion and has beautiful taste! Here is her blog header:

And here is what she came up with…

Hello readers! I’m Genevieve from The Passionate Peony. In the past, when asked to define my style, I never knew what on earth to say. Maybe hollywood regency? Or perhaps vintage chic? Well, after hours of looking through the rooms that I was the most drawn to, trying to come up with a signature style for my blog, I had a little epiphany: every single room that caught my eye had a hint of glitzy metallics (yup, I’m like a magpie..) ! So, if my blog were a room, that room would be decorated in a style I like to call “feminine glamour”. Hope you enjoy these gorgeous rooms!

So happy to have been a part of Simple Dwellings, and a big thanks to Amber for having me! Hugs and Kisses, Genevieve

Thanks for being here, Genevieve! These rooms are amazing, glamourous and very chic! I have also been drawn to gold accents lately, and these rooms do it up well! Definitely stop by Genevieve’s blog and show her some love!  🙂

Happy Wednesday and welcome to the series If My Blog Was A Room… where I pose the challenge to think of your blog as an actual space. What would that space look like? I am excited to have Sarah here, from her design blog, Hello Lovely. Sarah blogs on all things design, french inspired decor and beautiful things. She has such a sweet, warm personality, too! Here is her pretty blog header:

And here is what she came up with…

If this blog were a room, it would definitely be filled with chandeliers, lots of gold, lovely silks, a bit of French country, hits of pink, glamour, Louis Chairs, a bit of Kitsch, an animal or two, some florals, sophistication and a whole lot of chic! Whew!

Hope everyone is having a great week. Welcome to the series If My Blog Was A Room… where I pose the challenge to think of your blog as an actual space. What would that space look like? You’re in for a treat today with our guest blogger! I am excited to have Sue here, from her design blog The Zhush. I have been following Sue’s blog since I began my own and it’s easy to get hooked! Sue has impeccable design taste and also has an amazing on line shop, which you can check out here. This is Sue’s blog header:

And here is what she came up with for you-

Hi! I’m Sue from The Zhush.  This series is a lot of fun, and for me it was a “no brainer” as I knew immediately what room I would choose…Eve Robinson’s purple kitchen from the New York Kips Bay Decorator Showhouse has reminded me of my blog from the moment I first laid eyes on it.  Between the light fixture and the colors, this room just speaks to me! Of course, I would also have to include my own little home office here in the mix as well.  The colors in this tiny room make me so happy!  Thanks Amber for having me over today!

Happy Wednesday and welcome to the series If My Blog Was A Room… where I pose the challenge to think of your blog as an actual space. What would that space look like? I am so excited to have Elizabeth here, from her design blog The Little Black Door. I found Elizabeth’s blog recently and I’m hooked! I love her witty sense of humor and amazing before and afters of her beautiful home. She also came up with this cool gallery wall idea, where she adds frames and art to a corner of a room. I love how it turned out, and you’ll just have to stop by her blog to see it! Without further adieu, here is Elizabeth’s blog header-

And here is what she came up with-

Hi everybody! I’m Elizabeth from The Little Black Door. I was thrilled when Amber asked me to participate in the ‘If my blog was a room’ series because I play this game all the time (with myself). Now that I get to actually share with others, I don’t even know where to begin! I am consistently bi-polar when it comes to my styles. On the outside, I prefer something very old and very traditional. With a lot of land (of course) – an estate I guess you could say. Ahh, to dream.

Inside though I’m all about cozy (like I said – bipolar). I like rooms that have slowly accumulated over time. Rooms that feel layered.

I  love books and some killer styling as well. Styling is so very challenging to me, so I always appreciate a job well done.

And finally, no room is complete without a well stocked bar!

So that’s my blog in a room(s) –  Color, pattern, humor and a well mixed cocktail! Thanks for having me Amber, this was a lot of fun!

Elizabeth, this was amazing! I love what you came up with. The stenciled walls and that striped settee in the foyer- wow! Rooms that have color, pattern and personality are so important and fun! These colorful, cheerful interiors definitely remind me of your blog!  🙂
Stop by Elizabeth’s blog and say hello! You’ll be hooked too.

Happy Wednesday and welcome to the series If My Blog Was A Room… where I pose the challenge to think of your blog as an actual space. What would that space look like? I am excited to have Kat here, from her blog Maple Leaves & Sycamore Trees. I love stopping by Kat’s blog to see her latest antique and thrift store finds. She has a great eye and has amazing DIY skills! So without further adieu, here is what Kat came up with-

Hey guys! I’m Kat from Maple Leaves & Sycamore Trees, and I’m excited to be over here sharing some of my favorite spaces, so thanks, Amber, for having me. If my blog were a room (or rooms!), it’d have a relaxed, casual feel just like some of these spaces. First let’s start with the exterior. I love a home that’s not humongous and has nice details–like working shutters, differing facades, picket fences, and detailed trim work.

Now let’s go inside and start at the heart of the home: the kitchen. What I love in these kitchens are the different finishes, antique rugs, and that little bit of vintage industrial flair.

If you haven’t checked out For the Love of a House blog yet, you’re in for a real treat. I love just about everything in Joan’s house including her gorgeous kitchen.

We just redid our kitchen (well actually, it’s still a work in progress:/) and there wasn’t any room for open shelving. I do love the look though. Look at how pretty these shelves are!

Can you tell that kitchens are my favorite room in the house? Okay, I better move on before you wanna fix yourself a sandwich. Dining rooms:

Here’s an eclectic dining room with fun wall art and a bookcase. This would be a great solution for a room that must do double duty. (BTW, do you love settees at dining tables as much as I do? Ah…LOVE that look!)

This “dining room” looks like it’s part of an open floor plan where each room flows into the next. Talk about great for entertaining.

Some sort of display storage is necessary (in my book) in a dining room. Love this piece with the white dishes stacked casually but neatly inside.

And the last room I’ll cover today is the living room: cozy, inviting, and down-to-earth–all characteristics that I hope you sense from my blog.

Thanks again, Amber, for having me. It was fun sharing some of my favorite spaces! Hope you guys can stop by Maple Leaves & Sycamore Trees sometime and check out the renovations going on around our place.

Thank you so much for being here, Kat! Rustic spaces, unique lighting and subway tile… gotta love them all! And I can’t wait to see the paneled walls in your bathroom- love that look. For great DIY’s, unique finds and design chat, stop by Kat’s blog here.

Happy Wednesday and welcome to the series If My Blog Was A Room… where I pose the challenge to think of your blog as an actual space. What would that space look like? I am so excited to have Sam here, from her design blog, The Peak of Tres Chic. Sam has a great eye for design and has embarked on an interior decorating career of her own this year. She loves ikat prints, traveling and anything French, so I think we would get along very well!  🙂 Here is her gorgeous blog header:

Isn’t it great?? And here is what she came up with! Take it away, Sam!

Hi Simple Dwellings readers!  My name is Sam and I am the editor of The Peak of Tres Chic, a blog focused on chic interior and fashion design, with a little entertaining mixed in.  Creating a room that represents my blog was such a fun challenge, and I am so excited to be sharing what I came up with.  I have often defined my blog in an outfit, but never in a room. 

Thanks so much for being here today, Sam! I love what you came up with- tufted wing back headboards are so gorgeous! And those herringbone floors?!? This room is perfection to me. Stop by and say hello to Sam at her blog here!

Happy Wednesday and welcome to the series If My Blog Was A Room… where I pose the challenge to think of your blog as an actual space. What would that space look like? I am excited to have Nikki here, from her decor blog Nikki’s Nacs. Nikki has great style and shows creative DIY projects on her blog. I also had fun participating in her series 2 Bills 2 Blow, where I had the challenge to come up with decor ideas for my home after stumbling upon an extra $200! It was a very fun problem to think about! Without further adieu, here is what Nikki came up with for her blog room:

Thank you Amber, for including me in this fun series, and hello to all of you. I am Nikki from the blog nikki’s nacs.

I blog about life as wife and mommy, decorating, cooking, cleaning, crafting and organizing. That’s a lot of stuff. I knew that my blog would best be represented by a kitchen, the heart of our home.

If my blog were a room it would have to be this kitchen and dining room from Southern Living . The colors are just right , and it’s simple but still full of detail. I think I notice something new every time I look at this kitchen.

Thanks so much, Nikki! I absolutely love this space! It is bright, cheerful, and who doesn’t love white kitchen cabinets?!? I could linger here for hours with a nice cup of coffee. And this soft green gets me very excited for spring! To check out Nikki’s blog and say hello, visit here!

Happy Wednesday and welcome to the series If My Blog Was A Room… where I pose the challenge to think of your blog as an actual space. What would that space look like? I am so excited to have Tiffany here, from her design blog The Designer Lifestyle. Tiffany is new to blogging and I’ve enjoyed reading her posts and meeting a new blog friend! Here is what she came up with-

Hello!
I’m Tiffany from The Designer Lifestyle and I’m so honoured and excited to be a part of this fun series here on Simple Dwellings! As a fairly new blogger, I’m
loving ways to connect with the design blogging community.Thank you for having me!

When I first started brainstorming about what my blog would look like if it
were a room, I knew immediately that it would be A BEDROOM. I do most of my blogging from my bed, and I also like to think of my blog as a place for myself and readers alike to unwind and relax after a long day.

Here is my header ^. As a cue of inspiration from it, my blog bedroom would most definitely need a beautiful mirrored vanity like the one drawn in my header.  While my blog has an emphasis on interior design, I also feature some fashion and beauty, both of which take place in the bedroom as you get ready in the morning! A vanity like this can also double as a desk 🙂

 As for the fashion aspect, the room would definitely need a gorgeous walk in closet (a girl can dream right?)

via

 In terms of the bedding itself, the duvet would be a crisp white like the text box of my blog. Caitlin Wilson Textiles offer up the perfect throw cushions for my blog bedroom. That geometric turquoise one in the front is almost an exact match to the background of my blog, and the coral colours match my title and links font!

It would also require a beautiful upholstered headboard for reading and blogging from bed! I love the nail head and tufted details of the following example:

via

My blog is essentially my place to post all of my inspiration, and so the room would absolutely NEED a large inspiration board!

via

Lastly, I’d incorporate fun, trendy and colorful accessories to
represent my personality that I inject into each post. My taste is pretty
eclectic, nothing too matchy-matchy, just a collection of beautiful
things.

I’ve put together a board of what the room might end up looking like to bring it all together:

I hope you enjoyed reading about my blog’s room as much as I enjoyed putting it together! A big thank you to Amber for having me! Please stop by The Designer Lifestyle and stay awhile! Have a wonderful day xox

Thanks so much for being here, Tiffany! I love what you came up with- this would make a fabulous room! Tufted headboards and the beautiful color combination of turqouise and coral would make a lovely, restful retreat, in my book! Definitely stop by Tiffany’s blog and welcome her to blogging!
